Beschrijving keerzijde Arsaces I, the dynastic founder, shown seated to the right on a throne or omphalos, holding a bow in his right hand, rendered in the standard Parthian archer type. The figure is depicted in a frontal or three-quarter pose with drapery indicated by incised lines. The encircling Greek legend fills the field on both sides and below the central device, arranged in multiple lines. The style is characteristic of the late second to early first century BC Parthian mint production, with the legend crowding the available flan space in the manner typical of Sellwood 34 issues.

Aanvullende informatie

Orodes I ruled during one of the Parthian dynasty's most turbulent succession crises, seizing power after the overthrow of Gotarzes I and reigning for only a few years before himself being deposed. Sellwood type 34 belongs to a compressed window of output, and the political instability of the period is reflected in the relative inconsistency of dies across the series.

The mint attributions for this type remain contested among specialists, with Ecbatana the most commonly proposed but not universally accepted.
